Symmetry in Chaos by Mike Field

Symmetry in Chaos by Mike Field

This work illustrates the many varied and beautiful pictures that may be produced when the seemingly contradictory ideas of symmetry and chaos are combined. The mathematical ideas behind these pictures are presented in an elementary fashion, and computer programs are provided in appendices. These programs allow the reader to generate on a home computer black-and-white versions of the many patterns shown throughout this book.

Field, Michael: - Michael Field was the shared pseudonym of Katherine Bradley (1846-1914) and her niece Edith Cooper (1862- 1913), who lived together as lovers and collaboratively wrote some eight volumes of poetry and twenty-seven plays. Their poetry enjoyed both popular and critical success until their friend, the poet Robert Browning, let slip Field's true identity: in the milieu of Victorian letters, the work of women writers (and especially collaborators, spinsters, and lesbians, as biographer Emma Donoghue puts it) was still relegated to a second class. While their early poetry displays strong aestheticist currents both formally and thematically, their later poems incorporate an eclectic mix of Symbolism and Catholic spirituality without ever straying from an idiosyncratic style that is at once extravagantly precise and profoundly sensuous.
